All about that church wretchedness and poverty abound. At its door a dozen hats and bonnets were doffed to us, as many heads were humbly bowed, and as many hands extended, appealing for pennies appealing with foreign words we could not understand, but appealing mutely, with sad eyes, and sunken cheeks, and ragged raiment, that no words were needed to translate.
As the Feast of All Souls, the time when ghosts thronged on Lashnagar, drew near he brooded in silence for hours. Through one of his choking attacks he lay passive, scarcely fighting for breath; only once did he turn supplicating eyes on Aunt Janet, mutely demanding the drug that soothed. And when he was able to speak again, he told them what he had been thinking.
But there was something akin in their joint experience of earthly vanities; so little solace in worldly honours to the triumphant Orator so little of misery to the vagrant Mime while his conscience mutely appealed to Heaven from the verdict of his kind.
Elwood looked appealingly at Miriam, as though mutely trying to apologize for J. Elfreda's disregard for the rights of others. Miriam's straight black brows drew together. She stared at their unwelcome guest with a look that caused a slow flush to rise to the stout girl's face.
But the old Duc was waxing impatient. "Surely you do not hesitate, Juliette, with your dead brother's body clamouring mutely for revenge? You, the only Marny left now! for from this day I too shall be as dead." "No, father," said the young girl in an awed whisper, "I do not hesitate. I will swear, just as you bid me."

"You won't SEE Stonehenge every day, young man," said the custodian, a little piqued. "It's only an old beach," said the small boy, with extreme conviction. "It's rocks like the seaside. And there isunt no sea." The man at the turnstile mutely consulted the doctor. "I don't see that he can get into any harm here," the doctor advised, and the small boy was released from archaeology.
Partly sobered, the Campbell glared mutely at the McDonald; the latter also appeared to have recovered a portion of his senses and resumed his seat in silence, glowering at the empty glasses before him. "Now be sensible, gentlemen," said Colonel Claus, with a jovial nod to the patroon; "let pass, let pass. This is no time to raise the fiery cross in the hills.

With an immense effort he turned, and choking back every sound, beating hack every thought, groped his way towards the square black darkness of the open door.
She imparted this impersonality to her reception of Kendricks, whom Fulkerson met in the outer hall with his party, and whom he presented in whisper to them all. Kendricks smiled under his breath, as it were, and was then mutely and seriously polite to the Leightons. Alma brought a little bunch of flowers, which were lost in those which Dryfoos had ordered to be unsparingly provided.
